DRAFT Lawrence Public Library Board of Trustees Regular Board Meeting September 18, 2017 4:30 p.m. Board Members Present: Brady Flannery (Chair), Joan Golden, Judy Keller, Ursula Minor, Sarah Goodwin Thiel, David Vance (arrived 4:45), Kevan Vick (arrived 4:45). Library Staff Present: Brad Allen, Karen Allen, Tricia Karlin, Heather Kearns, Kathleen Morgan, Sherri Turner Friends of the Library: Stan Ring, Craig Grant Guests: None Call to Order Brady called the regular meeting to order at 4:32 p.m. Public Comment None. Consent Agenda Judy moved to approve the consent agenda; Joan seconded. All in favor; motion carried. Director’s Report A joint press release will be made soon to announce the library’s gold LEED status. Heather Kearns, Marketing Coordinator, displayed the plaque that will be installed in the circulation lobby. Brad noted that his Director’s report includes a lot of information about our summer activity. It also describes a change in how total borrowers are counted that more accurately represents the number of active users. Brad and Melissa Fisher Isaacs, Information Services Coordinator, will be attending the Harwood Institute’s training for libraries (Public Innovators Lab for Libraries) in Atlanta in October. The Harwood Institute’s aim is to empower communities to work together within their communities to solve their own problems. Sarah, who has previously taken the training, provided some background on the Harwood Institute’s work; she said the Libraries Love Lawrence initiative grew out of her Harwood training. She will be working with them on a special library project for 6 months. Library Foundation Executive Director’s Report Kathleen distributed a copy of her monthly report. She said that the first $15,000 of the MidCo gift has been received. It has been used to replace all the computers in the lab and to order new Chromebooks for public use. The MidCo grant is to be paid over 6 years, but based on the library’s

needs, Brad and Aaron are recommending a 3-year computer replacement plan. To make that possible, they have proposed that the Foundation front some of the cost, with the funds to be paid back in the latter part of the MidCo grant term. The Foundation is considering the idea, but tabled a decision pending receipt of more information, including approval from MidCo; MidCo has since agreed to the idea. Kathleen said the Foundation has approved a new simple, clearer mission statement. Melissa Fisher Isaacs, Information Services Coordinator, Kathleen, and Steve Nowak, Watkins Community Museum Director, are giving a presentation at both the Kansas Museums Association conference and the Kansas Library Association conference describing their success working with private donors and community partners on the Digital Douglas County History Portal. The featured speaker for this year’s Weave-A-Tale workshop is a repeat performance from Laura Pershin Raynor, the first speaker in the series. NEKLS is co-sponsoring her presentation. Kathleen invited the board to a private reception prior to this year’s Beach Author Series featuring George Saunders. Heather and Kathleen are still working with MidCo on signage for the computer lab. Once signage is up, there will be a ribbon-cutting event. Friends Report Craig said the fall book sale will be October 5 through 9. The DownHall book shelf has cleared $1270 thus far. Tuesday book sales have averaged $219 each time, about double last year’s sales. The joint Friends/Foundation newsletter will be sent soon. Ongoing Business 2017 Budget Update Brad noted that this is the first year that the county is distributing tax funds as they come in. Estimates are showing that we will receive almost $100,000 more than budgeted. He said that since the budget is in good shape thus far, he has been considering how best to make use of these unanticipated funds. He noted that the lighting upgrade project has hit some snags due to incompatible ballasts and is not yet done. They continue to work on it at no additional cost to us. He noted that the remote book lockers, while popular, have been problematic. We are reluctant to add additional ones until the software glitches we’ve been experiencing are resolved. We should know next month if the vendor will be able to resolve the software issue. New Business Brad will be taking some time off next March for paternity leave. (Congratulations!) Adjournment Judy moved to adjourn; Kevan seconded. All in favor; motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:25 p.m. The next Board meeting will be Monday, October 16 at 4:30 p.m. in Meeting Room A at the library. Respectfully submitted, Sherri Turner

Library Director’s Report for October 2017

New Teen Librarian

Our exceptional teen librarian Miriam Wallen left us at the end of September for a job in California. Her replacement is Erica Segraves. She worked at LPL previously as one of our collection development librarians. She is returning to us from Boulder Public Library. I am very excited to see Erica come back to Lawrence. She will make a fantastic teen librarian.

Meetings with City Commissioner Candidates

Kathleen and I met with five of the six city commissioner candidates earlier this month (all but Lisa Larsen with whom we did correspond by email). It was heartening to see that so many of the candidates are supporters and regular users of the library. Jennifer Ananda actually worked at the library when she was younger. Overall, these meetings were quite productive, and I enjoyed meeting and talking with all of them.

Wichita Public Library Keynote

On Monday, October 9, I had the honor of giving the keynote for Wichita Public Library’s staff development day. Our Collection Development and Cataloging Coordinator William Ottens also presented later in the day. As they are soon to open a new downtown library--replacing a 50 year old Brutalist building (sound familiar?)--I spoke to them about the excitement of creating new spaces and the reality of the difficulty in dealing with change. I also got to tour the current construction site. I was impressed with the floor plan and look forward to visiting once they open next year.

Featured on KPR Conversations

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by KPR Director Dan Skinner for his KPR Conversations radio program. We discussed the core services the library provides. The conversation is available to hear on the KPR website.

Foundation Director’s Report – October 13, 2017 Friends and Foundation Newsletter. The third and final Friends and Foundation newsletter for 2017 was mailed on September 21. Here is a summary of gifts to date:

Total amount raised as of 10/13/17: $2,740 Total Foundation amount raised: $1,530 Total Friends amount raised: $1,210 Total number of donations as of 10/13/17: 46 Total donations that gave to both Friends and Foundation: 21 Total Foundation only donations: 6 Total Friends only donations: 19

In addition, the newsletter mailing produced one renewal of a New Chapter Society membership. Caddy Stacks. We have a title sponsor! Miles Schnaer and Crown Automotive have agreed to be a title sponsor for Caddy Stacks, coming up on January 26-28. In addition, the Friends were the first hole builder and sponsor to step up to participate. We also have some local celebrities lined up for the January 26 adult party: sports guys Tom Keegan and Brian Hanni are on board, and Kevin Romary will be there if his schedule will allow it. End of Year Fundraising Plan. The Foundation’s Fundraising Committee met and set a schedule for its end of year fundraising. New Chapter Society letters will be mailed on October 24, the Friends and Foundation annual letter will go out November 20th, and an online fundraising campaign will launch on December 1. Beach Author Series. The fourth annual Ross and Marianna Beach Author Series, held on October 10th, was a great success. Approximately 560 people filled Liberty Hall for an evening with award winning author George Saunders. By all accounts, this was one of our best. George Saunders not only is brilliant, but also a wonderfully nice and funny guy. The evening included a “community audio book” reading of Lincoln In the Bardo, featuring George Saunders, Brad, Adam Desnoyers from KU’s English Department, Kitty Steffens, Sarah Matthews, Alice Dorsey and Alice Ann Johnston. On October 11, we visited KU Libraries where George met with Laura Moriarty and 40 English students. He talked about his writing process and how he finds his inspiration. Laura called it “one of the best conversations about writing I’ve ever experienced.” Midco Announcement. We are working with Midco on signage for the computer lab. It’s close! We hope to have a ribbon cutting and honorary check presentation in early November. Tech Desk Update. The new technology desk, created in memory of George Paley, is nearly finished. It will be installed in late October/early November. There will be a dedication in November with the Paley family and George’s friends. Friends and Foundation Study. I recently met with Katie Stevenson, an attorney living in Lawrence who is currently seeking her Master’s degree in Public Administration. For one of her classes she is required to spend 20 hours volunteering for a non-profit. She loves the library and inquired whether the Foundation would be open to a project. Since she is an attorney who has experience working with non-profits, we have asked her to research the legal issues and other logistics of merging the Friends and Foundation. Together with the Friends, we are working on a project outline that includes the questions we would like to have answered. The report would be ready in early December.

Proposed Change to Designated Paid Holidays October 16, 2017 We are proposing the following change to our designated paid holidays to be made effective beginning in 2018: New Year's Eve would no longer be a paid holiday, but we would close at 6 p.m. (Christmas Eve would continue to be a paid holiday.) The Friday after Thanksgiving would be added as a paid holiday. Rationale: The Friday after Thanksgiving is less busy (slightly lower circulation), and we usually have limited staff available because many people travel or have guests for Thanksgiving. We believe we could serve patrons well by being open during the day on New Year's Eve. Staff availability is better as few staff travel for New Year’s Eve, and festivities start in the evening and don’t take as much preparation as Christmas Eve.

The change to the Employee Handbook would be:

The Lawrence Public Library recognizes the paid holidays listed below for all regular full-time and

regular part-time employees.

New Year's Day, January 1

Easter Sunday

Memorial Day, last Monday in May

Independence Day, July 4

ADD: FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING

Christmas Day, December 25

New Year's Eve Day, December 31 CHANGE: CLOSE AT 6 P.M. NOT A PAID HOLIDAY
